"Master, do you want to go over and have a look?"

The adventurous Erin excitedly suggested, "I can sense that there is something strange in that mountain, maybe some kind of hidden treasure." ”

"If you use Xueqian's body to act, there shouldn't be anything that can threaten me."

Xia thought for a moment and turned his head to look at the cave where the Flame Demon Beast lived:

"Bud, who has made a contract with Xuexi, is guarding my body, and my worries are gone...... Then let's go check it out. ”

This monster is very lustful, and in order to avoid a possible crisis, she has Xueqian put a kind of ban, as long as someone touches her without permission, she will immediately suffer a heavy blow; At the same time, it can also protect the body from external forces.

She led Irene to the top of the mountain, where she found traces of inhabitation.

"A pot was tipped, as if someone had kicked it over."

She examined the humble camp with her extensive knowledge of field tracking:

"There were three people's footprints, all of them all very small...... There were also some shredded clothes next to the campfire. ”

Xia's face gradually became difficult to see:

Could it be that not long ago on this mountaintop, something happened to the girl?

"Master, someone is hiding next to you."

Erin said suddenly in her mind.

"I've found out."

Xia replied quietly.

After attaching to this flame goddess, her alert range increased by more than ten times, and she had already sensed that there was a faint aura nearby, because it was almost negligible compared to her now, so she didn't care.

"I'll scout!"

Erin flew stealthily into the woods where she could hide.

"Master, it's a woman, and the level is LV58."

She quickly sent back the message:

"The first name is Camille, but the system doesn't show the last name. It's weird. ”

Camille ...... The personal escort of the little princess of the empire? ”

Xia searched for this Camille in his mind for a while, and was stunned.

She now has a sizable intelligence network in her hands.

And because of her rising status, the royal family of Westminster also contributed a detailed mainland information to her, so a name immediately came to mind.

"I heard that Princess Dolinda is missing...... If you can find her, it will be a great gift to the Empire. ”

She thought about it for a moment and decided to put the upgrade aside for now. Let's go and meet the princess guard for a while.

"-Suffer death!!"

Just as she deliberately approached the jungle, a cold light flashed through the bushes and slashed at her neck.

Xia raised a finger and easily blocked the sword.

Xue Qian's body can be similar to the invisibility of the artifact Lori, or it can be transformed into the form of an ordinary person.

But there's another mode dedicated to hand-to-hand combat, where the Flame Goddess transforms into a formidable Valkyrie, both defensively and attacking, and ridiculously fast.

"You scoundrel! Return Princess Dolinda-!! ”

The female sword saint Camille shouted in a hoarse voice, her eyes full of tears. Attacks were launched against her again.

"Click, click, click."

Xia gently waved that finger and connected her three swords in one go.

The sensation coming from his hand was like being beaten with a wooden stick wrapped in heavy armor, and it didn't hurt at all, not even an itch, but he could feel something touching him.

Camille is a battle-hardened master, though his strength has dropped a lot. Immediately after the outburst, he realized that he was not on the same level as the other party, and gritted his teeth and stepped back. Distanced myself from her.

But unwilling to leave like this, she wiped her eyes vigorously, wiped away her tears, and stared at the person floating in the air opposite with red eyes, thinking about how to fight the other party.

"What do you mean by a villain?"

Natsu lowered his head, realizing that the form he was currently maintaining was a dark phantom.

This is to avoid getting into trouble by discovering Xue Qian's body. With Camille's strength, you can't see her true face at all.

"--The incarnation is lifted!"

She used the method that Xue Qian had taught her to lift the shadow state.

The gloom faded, and the long fiery red wavy hair and delicate and elegant face were immediately revealed, and with the tall figure and short skirt, the luxury and grace immediately stunned Camille.

"Don't just curse."

After Xia transformed into Xue Qian, her behavior was also developing towards this classical goddess. He stretched out his hand that had blocked several heavy slashes and shook it at the other party:

"Who are you? What are you doing here? This is not the place for people like you. ”

Camille has a rating of 58, which is not very low.

But compared to the undead monsters with a general LV of more than 80, she is like a weak lamb facing a pack of wolves, as long as she is caught by a monster, it is a dead end.

"Where is Her Highness Dolinda?"

In the face of the powerful coercion emanating from her, Camille did not flinch.

I saw that the female sword master took out a piece of cloth from her arms and showed her in her hand.

It was part of Dorinda's dress, but now it was dirty, stained with an unknown amount of liquid, and looked green and sticky.

"I haven't heard that name."

Xia is now playing the role of a local god in the mainland, so naturally he will not make low-level mistakes:

"I've just come from the north, and I've come here later than you, and if you want to ask me anything, I'm afraid you're asking the wrong person."

She learned Xue Qian's habitual movements, and pulled her long fiery red hair back with her right hand, looking arrogant and reserved, disdainful of talking to the other party.

"North? You said you went to that land of horror? ”

Camille said in surprise, subconsciously touching his bandaged left arm.

There was a deep wound there, now pitch-black, scratched by the undead wandering the rotten earth.

"Horror."

Xia pursed his lips slightly, turned around and came to the edge of the cliff, where he hugged his shoulders, as if admiring some scenery.

Camille hesitated for a moment, then followed her, looking down in the afterglow of the setting sun.

I saw dense remnants of the dead scattered all over the wilderness. Most of them were burned to charcoal; Some undead creatures who had narrowly avoided the devastating slaughter crawled there with a low roar, and the mighty monsters that once dominated the land had somehow become the targets of ravage.

"Whew!"

A flame suddenly erupted from Xia's hand.

Then, in front of her, as if throwing a toy punching bag, he threw the flame into the distance.

After a dull explosion, a reddish glow of fire quickly rose from the distant earth, and smoke and flames rose into the air. Suddenly, the sky in front of me filled the sky.

The mountain seemed to be shaken, and the female swordmaster stumbled a few steps and fell to the ground.

"Your Excellency the Goddess!"

Camille had seen the power of god-level powerhouses in Harlem, but none of them could match the women in front of him; Immediately, she no longer hesitated, immediately knelt down on one knee, put her hand on her chest and bowed forward, bowed her head and bowed to the red-haired goddess.

"Call it that...... That's right. ”

was knelt like this by the Imperial Female Sword Master, someone's tail unconsciously cocked:

"But you are not my believer, so why should you worship me? You know, I don't have anything to do you good. ”

"I would like to ask for your help. Find Her Royal Highness Princess Dolinda, who has been taken captive for me! ”

Camille bowed his head deeply and pleaded in a humble tone:

"I understand that if you want to ask for the help of the gods, you have to pay a price...... I can do anything for you, even if you want my life, please save Her Royal Highness from the traitors! ”

Seeing her like this, Xia's bad eyes suddenly popped up.

"Oh? But it's useless for me to ask for your life. ”

She levitated in front of Camille and reached out to hold her chin:

"Your meat looks tender, but I'm not in the habit of eating humans...... So be it. I lack a slave girl who can sleep for me, since you say you can do anything for me. Then pledge allegiance to me here, and then give your own soul. ”

"As long as you agree to my request, I am willing to be your loyal slave!"

Originally, she just wanted to tease the other party, but she didn't expect Camille to agree to this harsh condition without hesitation, reaching out to untie her collar, revealing her white chest. Then he pointed his sword at his heart, closed his eyes and chanted a mantra.

"Ahem! Wait a minute. ”

Natsu hurriedly stopped her.

"Are you going to regret it?"

Camille said sadly, opened his eyes and looked at her:

"Although I have no experience in this area, I will definitely work hard to serve you, please help me rescue the princess!"

"I'm just testing your sincerity."

Xia obfuscated the past with a passage that is common in mythology:

"Congratulations. You've passed my test! Now you can tell me the details that you know. ”

"I had a very serious injury before......"

The female swordmaster did not waste time, and briefly summarized her recent experience:

"As Princess Dolinda's personal bodyguard, I have a magical device that can tell the princess's location; However, the device had limited effect in the New World, and it had to be effective at a certain distance. ”

"Today I finally used it to search for the approximate location of the princess, and I came to this mountain with great difficulty to avoid the hunt of the undead, but Her Royal Highness the princess is no longer here."

Her expression was a little gloomy, and she grabbed her injured arm:

"Although I narrowly escaped the pursuit, I was accidentally scratched by a ghoul and was infected by the breath of the undead, which will spread to my whole body in about two days......"

Speaking of this, she couldn't cry:

"I've ...... Incapable...... Protect Her Royal Highness the Princess again. ”

Xia couldn't see the girl showing a sad look in front of her, and she didn't care about any role-playing, so she reached out and helped her up from the ground and carefully examined her injuries.

"It's just that I was caught by a low-level undead creature, it's not as serious as you think."

She burned the strip of cloth that had bandaged her wound to ashes with flames, then had Erin fly behind Camille and throw a vial of blood over her, half pouring it on top of her wound.

- Her blood cannot be used to detoxify, but it can greatly improve people's resistance, so as to indirectly achieve the purpose of treatment.

"Drink it."

Then she poured the remaining half of the vial of blood into the female swordmaster.

Her blood doesn't smell fishy to ordinary people, but is a little sweet. Camille drank it into her stomach without any problems, and then she felt a surge of warmth in her body, and the scratched area began to itch.

"Are you giving me divine water? Good magical potency. ”

She endured the unbearable tingling sensation and looked down at her left arm.

The dead gray color near the wound began to fade slowly, a hint of luster was regained around the skin, and some unpleasant fluid flowed out of the wound. Drop by drop fell on the wet ground.

"You say yes...... That's it. ”

Xia Xindao's own blood has an effect on both vampires and gods, so it should be no problem to say that it is divine water.

"Thank you for your kindness."

Camille bowed his head deeply again.

When she lifted it again, her eyes glowed red, "Poof! He bit the tip of his tongue and scratched the blood on his heart with his fingers.

"Please accept my allegiance."

Then a faint point of light appeared on her head and slowly floated in front of Natsu.

"It seems a little bad to make a contract like this, right?"

This time it was Xia Xia's turn to hesitate.

"If you want to repent, you'll see my cold corpse!"

Camille was afraid that the "Goddess" would not help her, so she stabbed the tip of her sword into the white and tender flesh. A line of blood slowly flowed out of her skin, and she used her real power this time, and a little more inside could pierce her heart.

"I promise you!"

Seeing her move, Xia was startled.

Xue Qian's supernatural powers are mainly reflected in the destructive power and manipulation of the fire element, although the speed is also very fast, but she is not Xue Qian herself after all, and she is not sure that she will safely snatch the weapon from the hands of a female sword master who is determined to die.

"It's just a contract, anyway...... As long as I take the initiative not to give her some strange orders, there is no difference between us at all. ”

She comforted herself to.

"Your body is already mine. Self-harm like this is not allowed in the future, understand? ”

The master-servant contract is not difficult for her now. What's more, the other party was willing, so the ceremony ended quickly; Then he said to Camille with a straight face:

"Use that magic device of yours to probe again, and see where the little princess you said is."

"I've tried it many times."

Camille didn't care that his white chest was still exposed, and with a dejected expression, he took out something that looked like a pendant.

"The light above shows that the signal from Her Highness Dolinda is still here...... Not at all beyond the reach of this peak, but I've already climbed the entire mountaintop. There was no trace of her either. ”

"You wait here."

Hearing her words, Natsu's heart moved, and he turned around and flew towards the edge of the cliff.

-- If you are not at the top of the mountain, you must be somewhere on the mountain.

on the rock face. Hidden Cave ...... Between the branches and leaves of a small tree, in short, Dolinda will not disappear for no reason, the Imperial Royal Family's Dharma God Talisman is quite powerful, and she will not die easily.

Then the biggest possibility is that you are trapped in a certain space and cannot get out on your own.

"You just stay there and don't move."

Seeing that Camille also wanted to follow, Xia immediately stopped her, and the effect of the master-servant contract emerged, and she suddenly became unable to move an inch, and had to stop.

The flying magic of the New World can only be learned at level 60, and Camille is a swordsman who focuses on physics, so she and Erin are the only ones who can do it.

But...... She overlooked one small detail.

The artifact Lori can see the surrounding scene when she is invisible, and she can also sense a strange aura, but she can't smell anything.

The search between the two of them was divided and divided, and Erin was in charge of the part that happened to be the entrance to the cave.

Because they were afraid of being discovered by the "old guy", Dolinda and Evelyn had done some concealment work before entering the cave, covering up the entrance of the cave with branches and gravel, and it was difficult for little Lori to notice it with the naked eye, so she naturally ignored that place.

"Let's go inside the mountain and have a look."

After about half an hour, Natsu, who had found nothing, turned into a phantom state and flew into the interior of the mountain peak first.

"Master, there seems to be some strange passages in here."

Erin's voice rang in her head.

"To the west."

Natsu hurried over, and in front of her there were vein-like paths, some of which had been clogged with fragile rocks full of holes, and some of which had not been blocked by debris as if something had passed by not long ago.

"It's like a human vein."

She looked at the tubular passages of various shapes, and a ridiculous feeling welled up in her heart:

"No matter how miraculous the creation of nature is, it won't even be exactly the same on the inside, right?"

"Master, there are some things in this place that are not very common, but there is no danger to people."

Erin took Natsu and flew down one of the pathways, pointing to some indigo plants there and said:

"They are a plant that can only grow where many people have died, absorbing the corrupt breath of the dead to survive; Ordinary people will feel uncomfortable even getting closer, but as long as you don't eat it or live next to it for a long time, you won't have any problems. ”

"The enemy has been discovered!"

Little Lori suddenly became alert.

Originally, there was no light in the belly of the mountain, but at this time, the vision of the two of them brightened.

A dazzling light flew out of the passage like a thick vessel, drifted slowly near them, and spun around a blue plant twice, swooping down on it.

The indigo leaves of the plant quickly withered, as if the vitality inside had been sucked dry, and the originally straight trunk gradually drooped, and the leaves on it fell one after another, making the sound of stones colliding with each other.

"It's ...... Petrified magic? ”

Natsu took a closer look at the plant and found that it had completely turned into a stone.

"It's not magic, it's more pure energy."

She instantly became curious about the ball of light:

"Erin, let's follow along! Maybe this weird thing...... What does it have to do with the little princess we're looking for? (To be continued.) )
